FCC Construcción presents its Sustainability Report for another year. As a new feature, this voluntary reporting exercise, previously published every two years, will now be released annually, reinforcing the company’s commitment to transparency and accountability towards its stakeholders.

The document outlines FCC Construcción's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance during the most recent financial year and sets out its key objectives and ambitions for 2025. Once again, it reaffirms the company’s ongoing commitment to the United Nations Global Compact and the integration of its ten principles into its business strategy and operations.

The Report has been prepared in accordance with the international standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), following a Double Materiality Analysis that identified the ESG issues most relevant to the organisation and requiring focused attention. As in previous years, the document has been independently verified by AENOR, adding further rigour, transparency, and credibility to the report.

This initiative offers a clear and comprehensive view of the organisation's most significant impacts, both positive and negative, on its environment, and how they are managed responsibly. It also serves as a key communication tool for showcasing the organisation’s sustainability achievements and tracking progress towards the goals outlined in its 2023–2026 Sustainability Strategy.
